PASTE-BUOKET'AND STAND THEREFOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 692,103, dated January28, 1902. Application filed Tune 5, 1901. Serial No. 63,256. (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD L. BAILEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Streator, in the county of Lasalle, State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Paste-Buckets and StandsTherefor; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a paste-bucket and stand therefor; and it hasfor its object to provide a stand which will support a pastebucket insuch elevated position as not to require stooping over and which maysupport a burner to heat the contents of the bucket when desired, afurther object of the invention being to provide a bucket that will beheld firmly in the stand or support and which will prevent drippingsfrom running onto the floor.

An additional object of the invention is to provide a combined drain andsupport for the paste-brush which will permit of supporting the brush insuch manner as not to get the brush dirty, other objects and advantagesof the invention being apparent from the following description.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in whichlike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several Views,Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the bucket-holder with the bucketin place thereon. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the support orholder in folded position. Fig. 3 is a detailed view of' one member ofthe support or holder.

Referring now to the drawings, the bucketsupport is in the form of atripod and consists of the three members 5, 6, and 7, having the rubberfeet 8 at the lower end, and the ends of each of which members aredisposed divergingly. At the central portion of each member are theprojecting spaced fingers 10 and 11. The fingers of the member 5 arestraight and are provided with verticallyalining perforations, and thefingers of the members 6 and 7 are bent laterally at their ends, andthese laterally-bent portions are provided with vertically-alinlngperforations, the fingers being so spaced that they may be broughttogether, as shown in the drawings, with their perforations alining toreceive a pivot-bolt 12. By forming the laterally-turned ends of thefingers of the members 6 and 7 said members are permitted to be foldedflat against the member 5, as will be understood, and the members may bethus swung to stand one hundred and twenty degrees apart or to foldfiat.

In the inner faces of the upper ends of the members 5, 6, and 7 areformed the notches 13, which are adapted to receive the flange 14, whichprojects outwardly from the bottom of the paste-bucket 15, it beingunderstood that the members may be swung so as to receive the flange ofthe bucket and to hold it firmly in place.

The inner faces of the members 5, 6, and 7 are provided with shoulders16, 17, and 18 below the notches'above described, and which shouldersare adapted to receive and support a lamp in the form of a pan 19,having an opening in its upper portion provided with a foraminous cover,and in which pan is disposed a porous material to receive the fuel. Thislamp may be used when access to warm water cannot be had for the mixingof the paste. It will be seen that when it is desired to remove the lampor the bucket from the support it is only necessary to fold the membersof the support against each other, when the bucket and lamp may beremoved.

To support the paste-brush when not in use, a combined drain and support20 is attached to one side of the bucket, which is adapted to receiveand hold the brush so that the drippings therefrom will not fall uponthe floor.

What is claimed is- The combination with a paste-bucket having anoutwardly-directed flange at its base, of a tripod therefor, the legs ofthe tripod having laterally projecting fingers pivotally connected formovement of the legs in a commonhorizontal plane, said legs havingnotches in the inner faces of the upper ends thereof to receive and holdthe base-flange of thebucket against movement in all directions, saidlegs having also notches in their inner faces below the first-namednotches to receive and support a lamp.

In testimony whereof I hereunto sign my name, in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses, on the 4th day of May, 1901.

EDWARD L. BAILEY.
